Among the must-have rosés of the Languedoc, the Côte des Roses Rosé 2025 by Gérard Bertrand celebrates the Mediterranean way of life in a decidedly modern and refined interpretation. From the extensive terroir of the Pays d’Oc IGP, this elegant wine displays a luminous freshness and aromatic brilliance that seduce at first glance. Its iconic bottle, with a rose-shaped sculpted punt, makes it as poetic a gift as it is an inspired table companion. The moment the wine slips into the glass, its very pale, bright colour with delicate highlights prepares the senses for a fruit-forward, floral and wonderfully pure melody. On the nose, a procession of small red fruits and exotic notes, currant, raspberry, lychee, joined by fine citrus touches and floral wafts, evokes sea breezes and the caress of the sun. On the palate, the impression is immediate: crystal-clear freshness carries the fruit with precision, the zesty structure frames the balance, and the finish extends with a pleasant liveliness. Served at 8–10 °C, it lights up the aperitif, enhances salads, grilled dishes and fish, and pairs naturally with the flavours of Mediterranean cuisine. This is a rosé for sharing, a wine of pleasure with contemporary charm, designed to be gifted, shared and enjoyed.

Assemblage et vinification

In the spirit of Pays d’Oc rosés, this cuvée favours a pure, readable expression of fruit. It relies on typical Mediterranean grape varieties, such as grenache, cinsault and syrah depending on the vintage, to orchestrate balance, aromatic intensity and delicacy. True to the signature of Gérard Bertrand, the pursuit of freshness and precision guides every step, for a clear, modern and harmonious profile. The goal is simple: preserve the perfume’s brightness, refine the texture, and offer a direct, thirst-quenching palate without sacrificing gourmandise. Thus, the 2025 sits in the house’s line of pleasure wines, accessible, elegant and immediately appealing.

Tasting notes

• Colour: Very pale, soft and bright, it catches the light with an almost mineral grace. The highlights recall the delicacy of maritime dawns and reflect an aesthetic as carefully crafted as the famous bottle with its rose-shaped punt.
• Nose: An expressive bouquet of red fruits and exotics, currant, raspberry, lychee, enlivened by citrus notes that add a zesty lift. A light, airy and refined floral hint underlines the aromatic purity and prepares a finely cut palate.
• Palate: Fresh, clean attack, fine texture, a luminous balance between fruit and tension. The zesty thread stretches the flavours toward a lively and persistent finish, revealing a rosé perfectly calibrated for conviviality, finesse and contemporary elegance.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve the Côte des Roses Rosé 2025 between 8 and 10 °C to highlight its freshness and the precision of its fruit.

The cuvée reveals itself over minutes, gaining breadth without ever losing structure. Presented in its sculpted-bottom bottle, it becomes an elegant gift, a thoughtful gesture that extends the tasting pleasure through the wonder of the object.
